Kansas Smitty's at Basement Sate

Kansas Smitty's House Band are touring London's basement bars to mark the launch of their debut record. The Basement Tapes Tour will travel round London's best subterranean cocktail joints, filling them with their distinctive brand of jazz and juleps.

When Smitty's eight members get together, the vibe is incredible. A sour mash of jazz genres, the Kansas Smitty's gritty style is influenced by the sounds of New York, New Orleans, Paris, and Havana, and now with this new musical tour, the band will be bringing their aurally and visually stunning performances all over the city.

As part of the Basement Tapes Tour, the band will be inviting each resident bar to create their own unique julep for the evening, using whatever method and garnishes they fancy.

From jazz enthusiasts to complete newcomers, this exciting tour will allow Londoners to be able to enjoy each bar's unique take on the Julep, whilst discovering new sounds and spaces they might otherwise never have found.
